Group of Syrian Expats in Lebanon to Ban: We Hold Onto Assad’s Leadership
A delegation of Syrian expatriates in Lebanon headed by Dr. Jamal al-Mohsen on Monday visited the HQ of the U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) in downtown Beirut to deliver a letter addressed to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, state-run National News Agency reported.
“We, the members of the Syrian community in Lebanon, stress our absolute rejection of all forms of foreign interference in Syria’s domestic affairs and our adherence to the leadership of Mr. President Bashar Hafez al-Assad,” the delegation said in the letter.
“We also condemn the acts of the armed terrorist groups that are being driven by outside forces with the aim of undermining domestic stability, emphasizing on the immunity of the Syrian society and its legitimate institutions in foiling the hostile schemes,” the expats added, calling on the U.N. “not to employ its organizations in the service of some influential nations.”
